Hmmm.  Farfugium looks like a new home for *some* of the Ligularia, but
I don't see any reference to Cimicifuga there.  It's not even the right
family!  :)

I think everyone's getting confused by these name changes again.  Although
the name Farfugium is cute -- as expected, I think of a Volkswagon.  :)

Anyhow, I estimate that about 18% of the plant names in the hort.net gallery
have changed according to the RHS Plant Finder.  That should be about 324 
entries out of 1800 plants listed.  Some were typos on my part, but others 
are way out there.

I'll have to go through and cull some of the suggested changes too.  A lot
of them don't sit quite right with me or I'm sure are wrong (i.e. Malus
'Prairifire' does NOT have another 'e' in it!  :)
